CHORUS

We all play a part

—

To protect our bodies, minds, and heart

—

If the earth goes down, we’ll fall apart

—

So step back or step up

or

Step up or step back

—

VERSE

I can’t make out my mind just yet

There’s something floating deep within

Crystals up high forming, Rainbow slides

I’m taking off with a focused drive

—

Make me a new home – a better place

Rocket – ship – ready – do a backflip

We may fall through tiny tunnels

But I know that we can rise again

About the Book

Carole Lindstrom

We are Water Protectors

Written by Carole Lindstrom

Illustrated by Michaela Goade

Inspired by the many Indigenous-led movements across North America, We Are Water Protectors issues an urgent rallying cry to safeguard the Earth’s water from harm and corruption—a bold and lyrical picture book written by Carole Lindstrom and vibrantly illustrated by Michaela Goade.

Water is the first medicine.
It affects and connects us all . . .

When a black snake threatens to destroy the Earth
And poison her people’s water, one young water protector
Takes a stand to defend Earth’s most sacred resource.
